COCONUT CREAM MERINGUE PIE
This is a pie that was created for our daughter's birthday. She loved her grandmother's coconut cream pie. We did not have the exact recipe so we came up with this. It could take up to 30 minutes for the custard to get thick and come to a boil.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Stir half-and-half, coconut milk, eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and salt together in a saucepan; stirring constantly, slowly bring to a boil over low heat and cook until thick, about 30 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; fold 3/4 cup coconut into the mixture with the vanilla extract. Pour the coconut mixture into the baked pie crust.
- Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until foamy. Gradually add cream of tartar and 6 tablespoons white sugar, continuing to beat until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Spread egg white mixture over the pie. Sprinkle 1/2 cup coconut over the pie.
- Bake in preheated oven until the top is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Move to a wire rack to cool until completely cooled to the touch, about 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving.

Tips:
- For a perfectly golden meringue, use a kitchen torch to evenly brown the peaks.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can place the pie under the broiler for a few minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before whipping them. This will help them reach their full volume and create a stiff meringue.
- When adding the sugar to the egg whites, do so gradually, one tablespoon at a time. This will help prevent the meringue from becoming grainy.
- To test if the meringue is done, touch the peaks gently. They should be firm and glossy.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the meringue from cracking.
Conclusion:
Coconut Meringue Pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy coconut filling, fluffy meringue topping, and toasted coconut garnish, this pie is sure to impress your guests. Follow these tips to make the perfect Coconut Meringue Pie every time.
